November 2007- going through, been through or ttc after mc, still positive and still eating cakes

[grinningbee]

Here we are then, if it worked!

A nice new shiney thread to fill up with gorgeous cakes.

I'll start with a gooey sticky pecan pie at got at the W.I market yesterday morning

albs, of course you can
im on CD 19 1dpo (only just got it in and think it came from tubed side) but feels like it'll be forever till i can test!

so i'm a way behind you guys

you'll just have to be my inspiration!!!!!

Feeling a little less negative now (although did something a bit silly earlier in a "i don't cope with stress v well" kind of way .)

btw - jules are you on facebook?

Hi All Just popping in to say hello and get the new thread on my active convos.

Congrats on the engagement Jules ! Great news.. happy planning.

Sorry to hear some are feeling down (what exactly was it you did ALBS in the name of not coping with stress very well ??).

CD29 here (of a 30 ish day cycle) and have been feeling dreadful with pmt for days. Serious bloating that kept me awake almost all night on saturday and other various symptoms. Cried myself to sleep last night because I'd really thought we'd done it and I know we haven't.

Tried to be positive this mornig and went and found out about joining a gym. Have put on far too much weight (again) in the last couple of months. If I can't be blooming I may as well be thin and beautiful (ok well I'll settle with just slightly less rotund ).

Will report back when CD1 rolls around.

oh wheely don't wait til cd 1 to report back in. It's nice to hear from you whatever.

I suspect CD1 will be tomorrow ALBS so I will no doubt be back then !!

oh sorry - i saw cd 29 of 30 and thought you had a day or so to go....

brain dead here

ALBS - I also meant to say that I understand about the constant worry about dd being an only 1. She is just beginning to understand little brothers and sisters (mainly because all her little friends are just getting brothers/sisters) and it breaks my heart everytime she talks about having a little brother.

On a more, sort of positive note, my DH was telling me about someone he met the other day whose wife is 16 weeks pregnant after 14 years of trying. I find that extremely humbling.

No sorry ALBS - it was me being misleading. My cycles are usually around 30 days but I fear TEW will be here tomorrow.

OMG - 14 years !!! I don't know whether to feel positive or utterly terrified. I can't take this every month for another 14 years.

How ever did they keep going.

Mind you I will be 47 by then so will probably have given up

14 years trying! gosh, that is just amazing

I know, Iknow. I kept asking DH questions all evening out of the blue because I kept thinking about it. I think they started trying young as DH thought they were late 30s. but still.... what amazing people they must be (or exceedingly stubborn ).

Actully i met somoene on another site when dd was a baby who had 14 years between ds's.

if i have a 14 year gap, i'll be.....38!!

If I have to wait 14 years for my first DC I'll be 49 that wasn't a good thought. Still advances in medical science, all these grannymums, maybe it won't be so bad, actually that isn't a good thought either LOL I'll just stop thinking.

There is a 9 yr gap between my brothers but I don't really want to ask my mum if they were trying for 9 years or not IYSWIM.

Evening all!
Got back from my weekend away earlier this afternoon and managed to find the new thread. Lots to catch up on too!
TJuice Glad everything is going OK and the nausea sounds like good news - it means your hormone levels are high. Fingers crossed for Wednesday.
Grinningbee Any news? I've been reading all about your potential BFP and keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Wheelybug I was also amazed to hear about the lady who got pg after ttc for 14 years... It just goes to show that it only takes one little swimmer! A friend of mine got pg naturally after 1 DC with IVF when her husband was meant to be infertile.
CD21 for me and I must admit I haven't been keeping track of when I might have Ov'd. Have been bding regularly since CD8 though so fingers crossed. Not sure when I can test because I fell pg very quickly in June after coming off the pill and have only had 1 cycle since the mc so I really don't know how long my cycles are - anything up to 35 days!
Hope everybody else is OK this evening.

Crikey, 14 years. I think I would have found a different DH by then

I am on cd26. Since Thursday I have wasted 2CBD and 1 Sainsbury £3.50. All BFN. However, I have bigger, sore (.)(.) and still no sign of TEW. I am being strong as I am now 1 day late. Or as I MC'd at 4weeks last month who knows when TEW is due to ruin my life.
I am keeping hopeful, but determined not to waste any more cash weeing on sticks. That will not make me pregnant!
Where are you GB I hope you are having more luck than me??

ALBS, EDD's are very hard. I dredded(?sp) mine in October. It was very painful but I kept really busy so as to take my mind off it.!

when will you test again Ronshar?

Evening everyone,

Sorry you've been feeling down ALBS. I am trying to comfort myself with the fact that you never see families with 1 child on supernanny! Haven't come up with much else so far... must be other upsides to just 1...
(though I am sure you will have another soon anyway)

Oh yes I am very good at giving advise Jules I just cant follow it myself!!
No more testing for me

evening everyone just popping by to see how you are all doing.

lissie, jules and everyone else on the dreaded 2ww I am keeping everything crossed for you all and throwing a tonne of babydust your way.

grinningbee - any news, was thinking of you today?

ALBS - it's so hard and don't apologise for being down, I described it as when you have had a mc you still think you should be pregnant and in some ways you are more desperate to be, I haven't come up to my EDD yet but am dreading it, hopefully by then I will have anotehr one kicking me so it may ease it a bit but I will never forget.

jules - again congratulations, have you come down from your cloud yet? Your DP sounds like one special man, you should marry him (oh you are!)

I did another test tonight and the line is getting darker so I'm hoping thats a good sign, am counting down the days until the 8 week scan, I know things can still go wrong after 8 weeks but it will give me some comfort.

Why am I so weak???
I did another test, it seems like such a good idea at 7am!
BFN. I think I can also feel that dragging feeling in my womb..

Good luck to you sweetkitty. I really hope this little been is a keeper for you.

Good morning everyone!

I'm still here. I was a bit grumpy yesterday so I stayed away.

I have started the day with a double chocolate chip cookie, there's some left so help yourselves .

Testing has been a nightmare. The ebay cheapies sometimes showed a faint line and sometimes didn't. I did a boots one that came up blank, but then did another one first thing this morning, and there is a faint line! You don't have to squint either. To be honest, I still don't know!!!

I know someone mentioned hcg levels after mc. I have thought about that. It was 4 weeks ago now, and a couple of weeks ago I did a test that was negative. I just don't know what to think. It's very very very frustrating!!!!

I'm telling myself I won't test again until Friday. Yeah.... just wait till I have to pee again and watch me run for the pee sticks!

My (.)(.) still hurt, but I don't know if it's AF sneaking up on me slowly or not. I've been feeling like this for over a week now. What do you guys think?

Hope you're all well on this fine and sunny Tuesday morning.

Big hugs,

P.S I've been having the most bizarre dreams for the last couple of nights... is that a clue??? Lol.

Morning all

Grinningbee wurely if you tested -ve post mc then your levels wouldn't go back up unless you were pregnant? Thanks for the cookies and sorry you had a bad day yesterday!
